TAŞKAFA, BİR SOKAK HİKÂYESİ

Andrea Luka Zimmerman

Turkey, 2013, 64’

Synopsis:
‘Taşkafa’ is a documentary essay, a film about memory and the most necessary forms of belonging, through a search for the role-played in the city by Istanbul´s street dogs and their relationship to its human populations. Despite several major attempts by Istanbul´s rulers, politicians and planners over the last 400 years to exterminate them, the city´s street dogs have persisted thanks to an enduring alliance with widespread civilian communities, which recognize and defend their right to co-exist. Taşkafa is structured around readings by internationally acclaimed storyteller, essayist, and critic John Berger. The film opens a window on the contested relationships between power and the public, community and categorization (in location and identity), and the ongoing struggle / resistance against a single way of seeing and being.
